[Intro]
A A7 F#m C#7#5 E (2x)

[Verse 1]
A
A7                  F#m
I wish I smoked cigarettes
                        C#7#5  E
 but they make me cough
A                      A7
I cry before, during, after sex
  F#m                C#7#5        E
I don't look good with my t-shirt off
    A          A7
And it's hard enough to
   F#m          C#7#5     E
be cool with everybody else
A
Mocking your haircut,
 A7               F#m
 oversized sweaters
C#7#5   E
Saying that I'm cute

F#m E Bm
F#m E Bm Bm

[Chorus]
A                      A
And it's not an ahegao hoodie,
                     Bm  F#m
it's a work of art
A                      A
I get turned on by my reflection
                   Bm  F#m
 in passing cars
                  A
I'm looking for a window
       E
to another world
        F#m
Where I don't feel
    C#7#5
as lost and bored
       A
I just don't want to be
   G            F#m
a soft boy anymore
 E
I wanna be yours

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E                A   A7
Living the dream
           F#m
It's just one of those dreams
               C#7#5   E          A
 where you're losing all your teeth
           A7
And if you think that
        F#m
it gets better
C#7#5         E           A
Darling, take a look at me
             A7
I'm in too deep
F#m                   C#7#5
Same dried ramen in a bowl
         E           A
I'm too lazy to clean
       A7        F#m
And I don't know why
F#
You'd ever wanna
 kick it with me

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E Bm
F#m E Bm Bm

[Chorus]
A                      A
And it's not an ahegao hoodie,
                     Bm  F#m
 it's a work of art
A                      A
I get turned on by my reflection
                   Bm  F#m
 in passing cars
                  A
I'm looking for a window
       E
to another world
        F#m           C#7#5
Where I don't feel as lost and bored
       A
I just don't want to be a
  G            F#m
soft boy anymore
   E              F#m
I wanna be yours
   C#7#5       F#m7
I wanna be yours
 A          Dmaj7 D#maj7
I wanna be yours

[Outro]
A                  A
It's not an ahegao hoodie,
                 Bm   F#m
 it's a work of art
A
So let me know when my
              Bm     F#m
feelings stop
A
I'm just your window
   Dmaj7add11
to another world
         F#m
Where you ended up
  C#7#5
lost and poor
       A
I just don't want to be
   G            F#m
a soft boy anymore

How to play Soft Boy: key, chords and progression

These are chords by Wilbur Soot on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Soft Boy by Wilbur Soot sits in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), and you need 12 chords to play it: A, A7, F#m, C#7#5, E, Bm, G, F#, F#m7, Dmaj7, D#maj7 and Dmaj7add11.

Most of the song cycles through A – A7 – F#m – C#7#5 (I – I7 – vi – III7 in A major). In solfa, that is doh – doh – lah – mi. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, G7, Em, B7, D, Am, F, E, Em7, Cmaj7 (82% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 45% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
